Scene's Van Aken Beer Garden Returns to Shaker Plaza Tonight

The only thing better than a beer garden is an outdoor beer garden. Tonight from 6 to 10, the third annual Van Aken Beer Garden returns to Shaker Plaza. The event takes place in the west parking lot of Shaker Plaza at the corner of Farnsleigh Rd. and Van Aken Blvd. and inside the adjacent storefront next to the Pearl Asian Kitchen. Admission is free. The event will feature live music from local singer-songwriter Tom Evanchuck.

There will also be food, beer, wine, cocktails, retail vendors and children’s activities. The event highlights the development of Shaker’s new downtown, the Van Aken District, scheduled to open in summer 2018. The District will feature a mix of restaurants, retail, residential and office space built around planned public spaces.
